Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 194 Xia An, my brother, you're awesome!

Do you ever feel that absence makes the heart grow fonder?

"Ah."

Tang Wan was held in his arms again, her body glistening with sweat, and she didn't want to move at all. She didn't even bother to blink. When he asked her a question, she gave a soft reply.

After a while, he said to himself, "You're bullying me too much. I'm about to fall apart."

Xia An laughed heartily, sat up, and began to massage her feet, which seemed to glow in the darkness.

Tang Wan regained some strength and picked up the important matter that had been forgotten for a long time. She asked, "The group's media company just lost most of its staff. Can it still help you?"

Xia An said, "There's still a month and a half until the Lunar New Year. During this time, I plan to set up Xiaowan Entertainment. The people under you are still somewhat useful in the traditional media field, but they have nothing to do with the real entertainment industry. We need to recruit new people."

Looking at Tang Wan's crescent-shaped eyes, he said, "I plan to poach two agents from within the industry."

Tang Wan didn't quite understand and asked, "Is that enough?"

Xia An laughed and said, "Those who are truly capable and have resources can actually support the entire structure by themselves, but they still need to be accompanied by some errand runners."

Tang Wan felt ticklish from his massage, curled her toes, giggled twice, and then sighed, "Lately I've really realized that I don't understand anything, and I don't know how I can help you."

Xia An smiled and extended his hand, which Tang Wan grasped. He immediately pulled her up and hugged her.

He sat, and Tang Wan sat on his lap, her head resting on his arm. Her chest kept deforming in his palm, and she rolled her eyes and glared at him.

"I'll get busier and busier, I'll get more and more tired."

Xia An gave a faint sneer, which inexplicably stirred up a great deal of heartache in Tang Wan, and any jealousy she felt evaporated long ago.

She murmured, "As long as we don't compare ourselves to Zhenzhen's family, we have enough to live on now. If you're tired, we won't be so busy. You still have three years until graduation, and I'll stay at school with you. In the future... no matter what the outcome, as long as you're good to me, I won't run off with anyone else. Whether it's in China or abroad, we'll always have enough to eat and drink."

Xia An laughed, "What I want to say is, no matter how tired I am, as long as I can see you and hold you, I feel relaxed instantly."

Tang Wan liked hearing him say such things, and playfully twitched her nose.

"But how far do you want to go? I've broadened my horizons at this conference. No matter how rich you are, you always want to be richer. There's no end to it."

The higher you go, the more you see, and the more you see, the greater your desires become.

From a purely materialistic perspective, men actually place much more emphasis on material desires than women.

Every woman loves handbags, cosmetics, luxury cars, and luxury goods. She doesn't say she doesn't want them, but she feels sorry for her man. On the contrary, she thinks that men who think women are materialistic are simply unable to afford them.

But men's material desires go far beyond that. When riding a bicycle, they think about buying a small motorcycle. Once they buy one, they think that having a small four-wheeled vehicle to shelter them from the wind and rain is also nice. Then comes the pursuit of higher-end brands.

They can afford sports cars, but they also want to buy yachts and airplanes.

After the outer circle, they played with celebrities, and then supermodels.

There are no men who are content with a simple life, only men who lack the necessary skills. If you have sufficient ability and provide enough security, your girlfriend won't cheat on you, except for sex addicts.

Men may not be obsessed with material things, but material possessions are an outward manifestation of power, and without exception, they will all drown in the quagmire of the money and power they represent.

She was worried that Xia An might become possessed by a demon. After all, he was too young, and no one could say for sure how high he could go in the future.

Xia An lowered his head and kissed her, "Let's make it... to the day when we have a clear conscience."

The night was silent, and Tang Wan rubbed her cheek against his arm.

"Be true to yourself, and be true to me, okay?"

"it is good."

"How do entertainment companies operate? Is your friend's crush a celebrity?"

Upon hearing this, Xia An chuckled, thinking of the situation where Liu Fei and Liu Xiao were both deeply in love with the same woman.

He didn't want to hide anything from Tang Wan, so he briefly explained the whole story.

Tang Wan blinked her big eyes as she listened, and finally sighed, "That's mostly how it is; everyone likes good things."

She stopped at the point of making snide remarks and then said, "But if you go to help her, won't you offend Liu Fei's sister? She's such a high-ranking official."

Xia An shook his head and said, "Liu Xiao is too smart. He knows that I now represent a certain economic direction. As long as it's not illegal, or at least not ostensibly illegal, the local authorities won't stop me."

In addition, I will help that person with some public relations projects through the charity foundation, as I am one of her henchmen, so it is most appropriate for me to help Jing Yun.

Another point is that even if it weren't me, Liu Fei could still help her make a comeback if she wanted to.

Tang Wan asked, puzzled, "Then why doesn't he do it?"

Xia An chuckled, shook his head and sighed: "So much time has passed, the old master of the Liu family and that big sister have long seen that he has no interest in his official career, and even if he wanted to go back now, it would be impossible."

Whether you stop it or not, that mess is pointless now.

The reason Liu Fei didn't show himself to help Jing Yun was simply because he felt inferior.

Tang Wan pondered for a few seconds, then realized what she meant and smiled helplessly.

But as he touched Xia An's face, he said, "Whether it's a man or a woman, everyone likes beautiful things, which is understandable. But what girls really want is a sense of security."

Xia An shook his head and said, "Liu Fei understands too, but he just can't bring himself to fall into a tragic love story."

Thinking of this, I felt a surge of admiration for Liu Xiao's methods.

"Liu Xiao told me to take action because he was worried that Liu Fei might come to her senses one day and force Jing Yun to stay by her side. That's very insidious."

Tang Wan chuckled, "Even the most powerful man can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman."

Yes, but very little. Xia An considered himself one of those who loved beauty more than power, so he didn't refute it, but just asked cheekily, "Have you regained your strength?"

Tang Wan was startled and quickly struggled to get out of his arms, "No, no, don't... Ouch!"

This time it was exceptionally long, piercing and hurting Miss Tang.

He kissed away the lingering tears from the corners of her eyes, then checked the time: one o'clock in the morning.

"Are you sleepy?" he asked.

"I'm not sleepy, I'm tired," Tang Wan clutched the corner of the blanket tightly, turned to the side, and looked at him with teary eyes. "Let's talk this out. If you really can't go on, please stop struggling. Let's do it tomorrow, okay?"

"I promise."

"Alright then." Tang Wan snuggled into his arms and asked, "Are you going to write a song for Zuo You? Or make movies and TV series to promote her? Would you sexually harass those actresses?" She chuckled to herself as she asked.

“It’s too slow to build up your talent through your work,” Xia An admitted. “I plan to create a talent show.”

Tang Wan was taken aback, thought for a moment and said, "Like 'Super Girl'? It was incredibly popular, but I heard that the hype surrounding talent show contestants fades quickly."

Xia An nodded.

There is also a hierarchy of social status in the entertainment industry. The most prestigious are those who debut through high-end advertising endorsements, followed by film actors and television actors, and the least prestigious are those who debut through talent shows.

"But it's definitely a hit, a nationwide phenomenon. Last year's champion, Li Yuchun, said, 'Do you know her Weibo followers now?'"

On the very first day of Guolan Weibo's launch, Xia An instructed the technical department to create several ranking lists to be displayed on the homepage. These included a follower count ranking, a post repost ranking, and a trending topic ranking, all updated every 24 hours.

Three days later, Li Yuchun topped the list with a massive 390 million followers.

"Leaving aside their works and status, just in terms of popularity, only five people can compare."

Capitalize on this momentum, release new works, and solidify your skills—that's the fastest way.

Furthermore, we've secured the online broadcasting rights for the program on our own video website, promoted it on Weibo, and secured sponsorship from Candy Supermarket… I've lost count of how many benefits this has brought.”

Tang Wan understood and nodded repeatedly, "That is indeed a good idea."

Then he asked, "What about Jing Yun? Isn't she too old to participate in a talent show?"

Xia An frowned and said, "She is a bit tricky and needs to be packaged as soon as possible."

With the important matters mostly settled, Tang Wan's thoughts began to wander again. She scoffed and muttered, "Someone like me who can't sing or dance, nobody cares..."

Xia An hugged him tightly, laughing heartily as she rubbed and kneaded him for a while, clearly adoring him.

"Once the video websites are up and running, I'll design a special 'Super Brain' for you. You'll stand on the stage, and not only will you dazzle everyone, but you'll also be able to recite tens of thousands of digits of pi, which will scare them to death."

"Pah! Just thinking about it makes me look like an idiot!"

Tang Wan, embarrassed by the imagined scene, thrashed around in the blankets like a mermaid just out of the water, which once again ignited Xia An's fire.

"What are you doing? I promised... Hey! No way!"

2007 1 Month 4 Day.

The interview with Xia An by the Binhai Channel 2 program "Economic Compass" was subsequently broadcast on provincial television stations in several coastal provinces, including Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong.

Daily newspapers and newspapers in various provinces have all published their comments.

Online, terms and messages such as "Xia An", "Weibo", "Da Yi", "300 million", and "nearly 10 million registrations in three days" are rampant.

At the same time, Xia An's personal Weibo account, "好大一根柴" (meaning "What a big piece of firewood"), was dug up by someone with ulterior motives. He was so frightened that he immediately changed his name to "我不是夏安" (meaning "I am not Xia An"), got a yellow V verification, officially verified his account, and deleted all his followings and only three posts.

Two of them were forwarded.

One of the most forwarded messages on New Year's Day was: "The Micro Era Has Arrived."

The other one is Maggie Cheung's first post – hello, Weibo.

The only text he wrote was: "My back garden."

The accompanying picture is a fruit basket filled with fresh, tender fruit.

Now, it's all gone.

He honestly changed his profile picture to a landscape photo and posted only one message: "Let's speak harmoniously and build a good online environment!"
Image: A blurry photo of the "The Whole Country is Red" stamp.

The number of fans has grown exponentially, exceeding 80, and is currently ranked twelfth on the list, just two places away from making it onto the homepage.

Those who paid attention noticed that his previously unfollowed list contained only a handful of ordinary people in addition to a number of celebrities.

Who are they? Xia An's good friends?
Good friend? Good friend?
This is the melon found by following the vine.

The following are, in order: "A grapefruit", "The candy is sweet", "The lemon is not sour", and "Lin JJ".

There was only one text and image message.

All selfies!
Oh, Lin JJ isn't Lin Junjie~
She's an absolute stunner!

Each of the four garnered a wave of attention, with bored onlookers eagerly awaiting further information and hoping to dig up some juicy gossip.

And the person nicknamed "Candy is Sweet" is actually the female CEO of a group company! Her looks are stunning! She looks quite similar to "A Grapefruit," are they sisters?
How could that guy manage to get all the good stuff by himself?
war!
For a time, Xia An's rise to wealth became a source of doubt among the public, with some suspecting that he was a gigolo kept by a wealthy woman!
As a result, the comments under the various news articles published by economic experts every day regarding Xia An and the outlook for Weibo's business model gradually developed into two extremes.

A group of women, mostly fans of Xia An, declared: "We won't marry anyone but him!"

Another group of lewd men: those pretty boys have no good intentions!
……

Tang Wan, who was waiting for Liu Fei in the president's office of the Sugar Persimmon Group, finally discovered the problem with "Lin JJ".

Four?

Four!

Holding her phone with her legs crossed, Tang Xiaowan, whose buttocks were aching slightly, squinted at Xia An, who was calmly making tea.

Could it be her? Could it be her?
With her heart racing slightly, Tang Wan suddenly blurted out, "By the way, I asked Uncle Zhang a few days ago to keep an eye out for suitable people to introduce to Sister Jiajia. What do you think?"

The words drifted into Xia An's ears one by one. With a slight smile, Xia An took a sip of hot tea and said calmly, "Then you'll have to find someone who is a great philanthropist. She's going to save all living beings after the New Year."

Tang Wan countered with, "I can't stay single forever, can I?"

Xia An continued to defend himself: "Marriage is something you wait for, not something you seek out or attract. What you attract are just flies."

Tang Wan raised an eyebrow, her eyes popping out, and unleashed her ultimate move: "From now on, I'll call her 'Auntie' too, okay?"

Xia An also dodged the question: "She calls my mom 'Auntie,' are you planning to be a generation younger than me even under the bed?"

Tang Wan was both ashamed and angry. She took off one of her high heels and threw it at him.

Xia An caught it casually, took a light sniff, and Tang Wan instantly blushed like a little shrimp, curling up her black-stockinged toes, "I'll suffocate you with the smell!"

Xia An laughed and said, "It must be because of the socks worn by the goddess Luo, that the lotus stamens still retain their fragrance. Don't force me to transform in the office."

He got up and went over to help her put it on.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door, which was then pushed open.

Liu Fei entered the room led by Tang Wan's secretary, her business-like smile freezing instantly, her chubby cheeks jiggling three times.

Backlit, Xia An knelt on one knee, one hand on her delicate foot, the other on her high heel, as she helped the young female CEO put on her shoes…

This scene perfectly illustrates that the world is full of wonders, those in power have great desires, in a big forest, nothing is surprising, and there's nothing new under the sun...

And, Xia Anwu, my brother, what a profound meaning!

An idea popped into Liu Fei's mind, and she casually took out her phone from her pocket.

"Hello? Oh yeah, I'm busy. What? Oh, hurry up and tell me, I'm listening..."

Ignoring the bewildered female secretary, he stepped out.

Half a minute, start again.

Tang Wan rose gracefully from her executive chair, a smile on her face.

Xia An also stood up from the sofa, her smile carrying a meaningful meaning.

Liu Fei looked at Xia An with astonishment.

In any case, none of the three people showed any signs of discomfort.

What just happened was an illusion!
